‘Scene’ at ’Transpire’s Bus and Coach Rally at Rowsley 2017 part 1 on ‘Dennis Basford’s railsroadsrunways.blogspot.co.uk’

A glorious day on what was the hottest weekend of the year so far.

 

The only down side to the conditions was that being located on a non hard surfaced site there was a lot of dust being thrown up.

 

None the less, plenty to admire and enjoy.
